Do you read Wikipedia articles to get an overview when you're about to read something complex?

I trust 40 random people writing an article for me as much as I trust 40 random people making me a sandwich.

That being said if you follow the citations is a great place to get sources for facts.

Honestly it's totally fine for most things, but if you're forming an opinion from information don't use it. If you're using it to read a summary of a position or a piece of writing and then take part in discussions on them then you need a good course of chemotherapy.

I really cant undestand how my ip has anything to do with that.

CIA has definitely used Operation Mockingbird-style editing of information.

Noticing a pattern here? They don't even pretend to be remotely objective.
